Great inside of the Model X. What you have learned from it? basically an over engineer vehicle that was build in a cost cutting process using low quality parts with a supreme low quality assembly process with a trial and error run that is pass to the buyer with a result of high cost for the consumer with a high margin of profit for the company. If you purchase a vehicle for $110+K and in less than 2 to 3 years of use it is falling a part as this example does, that tells me that we wont see many Tesla of this generation on the road in the next 15 to 20 years. Basically either they all be used for parts or you will find them on scrap yards. If you though that Tesla it is a none maintenance vehicle your are wrong. Maybe even more expensive to maintain because the labor intense that will take to just do the proper fit and finish that the manufacture never do when produce the vehicle, and if you ran out of warranty you are on your own. That is why electrified garage is here.

In times of 240 production start, Volvo already produced cars for over 50 years. It's also worth remembering that 240 was produced for 20 years straight! (thats quite a very long time for one model). If yours was produced in the late 80s or early 90s, they have already sorted all issues, because they made this one specific car for decades! Tesla is doing manufacturing just from the late 2000s, in fact since 2012. Model X is on the market for no more than 4 years, it also has a shitton of electric servomotors which 240 didn't have at all. Modern Volvos can also have quite huge problems with electronics, so the main source of 240 dependabiility lies in its extremely simple nature more than in some incredible Swedish ingenuity (as some fans of volvo claim), unfortunately.

Kia and Hyundai were in the same boat a few years ago when they first started to come to the US. Give Tesla a few years. They're giving jobs to americans, trying to be innovative, and trying to push new boundaries. ALSO, people who can afford these high end models have plenty of money to fix them and do not think on 95% of the norms level. If you want to be logical/reasonable when purchasing an all electric vehicle, then go with the most simple one with the least amount of moving parts. Automatic doors, spoilers, doors handles, sensors, etc is just asking for more possible failures and it's not an if. It's a when. Sure you have all these fancy features, but they all fail eventually and usually in a few years of heavy use. Same is with any luxury car. Heavy use = higher % of failure. The next years model usually fixes the first years problems no matter the company or product.
